UNITED STATES: Orenthal James Simpson, nicknamed "the Juice", was an American football player, actor, and media personality. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons-nine with the Buffalo Bills-and is regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time.
His success is widely considered to be overshadowed by his two criminal charges for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, and the contentious criminal trial in which he was acquitted on both counts.
He died on April 10, 2024, in Las Vegas. The case stayed in American memory for three decades.
